Telecommunications company LIME Dominica today pledged its commitment to the further development of Dominica’s culture and its young people by officially signing on Dennison “Dice” Joseph as a LIME artist.
Manager of LIME Dominica Jeffery Baptiste made the announcement today at the Dominica Festival Committee’s weekly carnival press conference.
Meantime, the four-time calypso king applauded the move by the company and encouraged other business houses to follow the example displayed by LIME to invest in the youth.
“I would like to give special thanks to LIME for making such a big step. I hope other companies take heed. LIME has lent their support to me…and I am happy. I also want to let LIME know that I expect 100 percent from them because they can expect the same thing from me,” he said.
Congratulations to Dice and thanks to LIME for taking the initiative to invest in a young talented male from Dominica. Dice you are a man not a boy ignore the haters and embrace this significant opportunity and make Dominicans proud on the international stage.
Doe dig Dice, this is destiny you were born for that, you went to SMA, where calypso was more less recreation you choose to follow this path which many talented students pass, though you may not be the last, but surely you are one with class. The calypso fundation of SMA salut you.Good Luck.
Yahweh, only one name
i wonder who Di… k dice sucking. After all that illegal activity he doing, lime standing behind him.All this is a cover up to his illegal activities. People here praising him for his nonsense..stupessss……
yeah i stand up for you when you was in that roro last year. i will do it again , you deserved the chance. doe dig the haters, is so we stay.i say it last year and iam seeing it this year. That Dice is not BIGGER than Calypso , but Calypso is much bigger with dice, listen and you will hear.Take care my boy.
I like that, Dice is not bigger than calypso but Calypso is much BIGGER with DICE… and we allll know it!
I am happy for the Dice, BUT I wonder whether he was the best choice to represent Dominica’s calypso overseas. I mean, not only is his attitude rotten, but frankly speaking, as good a performer on stage as he is, his calypsos largely are for a local audience and really do not have any regional or international appeal. I believe an investment in someone like Caressa would be a MUCH better one.
Caressa’s calypsos have a broader appeal and the man is much more of a gentleman than Dice could ever be!!
every one deserves chances
@ vibes………pure negative vibes u spreading…………….u really join d haters club……….good luck with dat ………….Anyways Vibes, you caan keep a good man down………………DICE AGAIN…..ALL D WAY!!!
I go through the comments and all I am seeing is postive comments for the most part, “good luck”, “job well done”, “a good opportunity to represent Dca” etc. etc. YET for all those positive comments there is a pattern being noticed – a thumbs down on every single one (as of this positing it was one thumbs down per comment). Which begs this question – WHY CAN’T DOMINICANS JUST BE HAPPY FOR EACH OTHER????? Forget politics, forget personal differences, this is nothing short of a great accomplishment not just for Dice, but for an opportunity that will surely benefit Dominica in the end. Why do you go out of your way to put a thumbs down on each positive comment here?
Just last week LIME/Gramps (from Morgan Heritage) held an event in the BVI, with the winner being chosen to represent the BVI. What a difference in the comments posted here and there!!!! I am not a “friend” of Dice, I do happen to like his music and his message…just as I like Hunter, Caressah etc. I would be just as happy if that were them chosen if Dice wasn’t. For you see, I look at the bigger picture, it is not red and blue, it is not who against who in power, it is who can bring much needed exposure to Dominica.
I don’t know about some of you but I am kind of tired of every one knowing who Bunji Garlin(Trinidad), Burning Flames (Antigua), (INSERT ANY REGGAE ARTIST HERE) (Jamaica), Alison Hinds (Barbados), etc etc are, but no one except for Dominicans know about our artists. Let us see the positives in this instead of bringing up why he not signing for digicel anymore…that is of no importance.
Peace & Blessings – Safe Carnival
I went through the comments and I see so many people leave positive comments, good luck, job well done, make our contry proud etc. etc….YET there seems to be a patter where every single OBVIOUSLY positive have a thumbs down negative comment (as of this posting it was one per comment)….Which begs my question –
pardon this post, i accidentally hit enter before i was done.
Dice again !big up to u .make us proud.every man makes mistakes.the question is what u do with it,pick your self up ,dust your self off ,and that’s just what u did.I ‘m proud of u.
you a disgrace to Dominica boy, no respect, no pride, no commonsense, uneducated, illegal activities you just a mess and some Dominicans trying to give our beautiful country a bad name by saying to the world look what we got, and its a shame look what he did in the US and in Roseau….sorry to say but im just being honest its just a damn shame.
he without sin cast the first stone. down i the bible God did not use perfect people to do his work he used sinners like dice and myself to do his work, because he did not come to save the good he came for the sinners so that they could live. i am sure you history book is not good even if you alone know whats in it ok so stop being a mad hater and respect the sin. because he is this famous you know about his activites but i am giving you one year to be king and lets see how many things that will come from you closet.. i am so sure you dont have at least barchelors by just the way you commented not proper use of grammer etc so give my king a chance KING DICE AGAIN FOR 2011
YEAH SHAME ON YOU
Whether Dice is sponsored by Digicel or Lime is irrelevant. The important thing is that he is promoting Dominica’s culture.
Dice my boy please excell for all them MAD HATER who dont want to see you on top see you have achieved great things. power to you KING DICE for 2011
Just want to congratulate both Dicey and Lime for pulling that Off.
At the same time, I would want to encourage Dice, that now is the right time to work on a New Album…..with Lime……The work has just begun…..it’s time to look deep within….and represent to the maximum…….
My boy make the best of this opportunity…Make hay while the sun shines down on you…and LIME..
NO slackness….GO FOR IT my boy!!!!…be an example to us de Ghetto Youth…cause we are in your corner always…in good times and bad times…..”Nuff Respect”..and one LOVE..
Do it for us” Ghetto Youths” Dice again 2011
where’s the support for other talented youth on the island?
apparently no one knows DICE for who he really is… can u say ignorant disrespectful fool? This man has no respect for anybody… the way he responds to young women, he is certainly no role model for the young men and this man cant even hold a debatable conversation without acting up if you dont agree to what he says! I agree he is talented in singing calypso but thats about it.. ( thank God for Pat Aaron) As far as behaviour and attitude wise dice is a no-no…. n all his so called friends know so… but they just accept it cause they want to remain on his good side.
the voice for the youth!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
inspirator and motivator!!!!!!!!!!
all the young people entering the calypso arena is an inspiration from dice…………..keep it up!
LIME all you sure!!! …he jumping water bottles….he singing for digi now all you take him…..I hope you all DID your HOMEWORK!!
lime can do what ever they feel give the young man a break mad hater
Good decision LIME. Now we WANT you to let Q95 carry DICE and LIME in Marigot and the South East! Better move that will be.
Another Maroon bought by Lime one of the biggest exploiters of the Dominicans.
Lime has turned the masses into TOP UP CRACK HEADS at $10.00 a pop.
They constanty come up with gimmicks to side track us as they
turn us into paupers with their high telephone rates.Typical of the multi-regional
corporations…Rip Off con artists!!!
wot happen to the other “youth” in the land? couldn’t they invest in more than one person?
Mother Theresa said once – If you cannot help all, you can at least help one….hopefully he Dice can turn around and help another one…that is how it begins
YEAH THATS THE WAY TO GO. SEND KING DICE TO REPRESENT BIG TIME. BIG UP DICE. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORKS AND ALL THE BEST. STAY POSITVE AND BE STRONG MAN.
Congrats to Lime for supporting one of our top artists. I just hope he can keep on the straight and narrow and should surround himself with positive people who can uplift him.He must not find himself on the wrong side of the law and make a concerted effort to be a law abiding citizen. Your many fans deserve and demand an improvement of your general behavior and deportment. This is not meant as destructive criticism but as an honest assessment and genuine wish to see you prosper.
We are waiting for you in SVG, for the hottest carnival and colorful costume in the Caribbean, June & July, we jumping up for twelve days straight…
thanks to lime !!!!! for giving my son the opportunity to excel dennison you always knew what you wanted from young i remember when you were 6yrs old you said to me in sxm, mamie don’t buy me five shirts for one dollar each, buy me one shirt for $5 it will last long, while i often say that to my friends as a joke from my young son and at this age i did’nt know where you got that from but as you grew up and your strength you put in what you believe in and where you are makes your mother proud of you and you often said when you were little mamie i brown but when one day mamie and sister k i will reach hollywood and get all what i want while watching t.v, proves your determination, and your strength go my son acomplish your dreams and make your fans , dominica and lime proud of you. you know mamie behind the scenes praying for you and all your family and friends because you came from a praying family and god fearing , may god continue to bless you from the crown of your head to the sole of your feet.

Sing away, sing the cry of the people………..that’s what you have been called to do…….. In Dominica, St Lucia, St. Vincent……… they will all listen.
Great move LIME….I just hope, DICE remains positive and stay on the right side of the law and not disappoints his fan and LIME
